Taglines for 2014

I thought 2014 was an exceptionally good movie year. Almost everything I was able to see was either excellent or very good. I hope the list I’ve compiled below will inspire a reader or two to catch one or more of them.

Birdman Rising above past perceptions. The perceptions others have, and the perceptions one has of one’s self.

Grand Budapest Hotel“It was an enchanting old ruin. But I never managed to see it again.” (I’ve seen this one twice.)

Wild“You can always quit”—whether it’s a 1,000-mile hike, or life itself.

Selma“Those that have gone before us say, ‘No more!’”

Into the Woods …and leaving a trail of Sondheim breadcrumbs to help find your way out.

Boyhood“I thought there would be more.” Growing up fast—before the camera, and before our eyes.
